You ask me how long I’ve been drinkin’ and livin’ this honky tonk life
Well listen girls I’ll tell you my story I’m a mother that was once a happy wife
I’m a girl just like so many others neither good nor bad maybe a girl like you
And just think what for the grace of God in heaven
It could have in your heart stop of broke in two
I’m a girl that’s left without a future and the baby boy that has his daddy’s name
And the baby look up like his daddy but another woman wears my wedding ring
[ steel — piano — guitar ]
I’m a girl that’s left without a future…
